Survive in New Demo for Tactical Co-Op Survival Horror ‘CODE EXIT’ [Trailer]
LINE Games and Phase 8 Studio have launched the first demo for their tactical FPS CODE EXIT. It’s you and up to three friends to descend into the AI-controlled city of Pantheon and battle the rogue AI Minvera in the “suffocating” atmosphere of the city in order to find the truth.
Players take on the role of investigators sent into Pantheon, which has been overrun by the rogue AI known as Minerva, an integrated artificial intelligence that has turned the city into a locked-down machine nightmare. As players explore dark, isolated facilities, they’ll have to contend with Minerva roaming the city, observing their behavior in real time, and adapting its tactics. Restore systems, recover hidden data, and work together to uncover the truth behind the collapse of Pantheon before Minerva closes in.
Players can choose to face the Minerva alone, or as mentioned, team up with up to three other players. The game scales its intensity based on your group size. Success depends on real-time communication and strategic coordination to stay one step ahead of Minerva.
Every playthrough offers a different mission to the exit. You must complete a series of randomized and stage-specific objectives while navigating the foreboding environment. No two sessions feel the same, as the missions and threats constantly evolve.
That main threat is Minerva, who roams the corridors in search of you. It observes your habits and remembers your favorite hiding spots. If you continuously repeat the same behavior, it will adapt and change its hunting pattern to catch you.
Look for the full version of CODE EXIT on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2027.

Upcoming “Willy Wonka Meets BioShock” FPS ‘Twisted Tower’ Launches on August 18 [Trailer]
After dropping a demo last year for their upcoming “BioShock Meets Disneyland” horror title Twisted Tower, developer Atmos Games has announced an August 18th release date for the game, complete with a brand new trailer. While the demo is no longer available, you can, however sign up for the Playtest from the official Steam page.
Blast your way through an abandoned 1950s theme park, the eponymous Twisted Tower, crawling with fairy-tale mascots, twisted puzzles, and deadly traps. Uncover the dark secrets of your past as you race to the top to win the prize and the love of your life. It’s been decades since there’s been a single guest, but the park’s silly mascots will certainly be ready to accommodate you with expert fashion. They’ve been cooped up for years, so they may be looking for a hug.
Choose from dozens of unique paths up the cozy halls of the park castle as you explore its five areas. Sporting “punchy, bloody gunplay”, you can upgrade a slew of deadly weapons ranging from a whack-a-mole mallet to a skull-poppin’ ray gun, and gain new abilities as you climb your way up the tower to win a heaping pile of money and the hand of your childhood sweetheart, Charlotte.
